<b>Hello to the beautiful churches of Moorland, Egloskerry, and Lanstephan...</b><br>As I prepare to join you as your new vicar, I wanted to share a little glimpse of the goodbye that’s just unfolded here in East Cardiff, a moment full of love, laughter, music, and prayers. I’m so looking forward to joining you soon as your new vicar.<i> What a send-off! </i> Over 100 people from across the churches gathered for Mother Tina’s final glorious Songs of Praise - a celebration filled with faith, family, friendship, and phenomenal music. Our Director of Music, Nathan, played magnificently. Fr James, Tina’s much-loved training incumbent, spoke movingly of a curacy marked by joy, compassion, and her prayerful generous heart. The singing was rapturous. The cake was size of a cathedral step (And delicious.) The tears were many - of laughter, of gratitude, of love. Together we laid hands, offered our prayers, and sent Tina off to Truro Diocese wrapped in blessing. Her licensing to the Benefice of Moorland, Egloskerry and Lanstephan will take place on: Tuesday 19th August at 7pm St Paternus Church, North Petherwin (PL15 8LR) All are welcome. Tina, thank you for the joy, the wisdom, the warmth, and the wonder you’ve shared. May this next chapter unfold with grace and kindness, and may you always know how dearly you are loved.
<b><i>The Bishop of St Germans, the Rt Revd Hugh Nelson is pleased to announce that the Revd Tina Jane Parry, at present Assistant Curate in the Diocese of Monmouth in the Church in Wales is to be Priest in Charge (with Oversight Responsibilities) of the Benefice of Moorland and Egloskerry and Associate Curate (to be known as Associate Priest) of the Benefice of Launceston in the Diocese of Truro. </i></b><b>She will be licensed at a place and on a date to be arranged.</b>
At a lovely service at Perranzabuloe on March 3rd the Bishop of St German, Bishop Hugh, presented Verna Jones with the St Piran's Cross. These are awarded annually to people who are being recognised for their service to church and community. Verna has performed many roles over a very long period at Tremaine, Churchwarden for a long time, Treasurer even, which was certainly not a role she wanted to take on! But first and foremost Verna has served the church with music - playing not just for services at Tremaine but at North Petherwin and other churches in the area, frequently stepping in to help when churches needed someone to fill the breach. Currently she is going into Beaumont Court residential home to provide music for worship there. She is a real stalwart and a very worthy recipient of the Award for Trigg Major Deanery.
